The formation constants and standard free energies of formation of both mononuclearand polynuclear hydroxy complexes of metal ions throughout the periodic table have been examined. Some empirical correlations are presented that make it possible to predict rough values for these constants. For mononuclear complexes the equation is AGf0 (M (OH),,|= AGf {M|+ By+ Cyl+ D/y, where B, C, and D are empirical parametersand y is the number of coordinated hydroxide ions. These parameters are subject to constraints that limit acceptable values. For example, B, C, and electronegativity are interrelated. This equation can be rearranged to define a new function, U, that is linearly relatedto y. This allows the interpolation of unmeasured free energies and hence formation constants. For mononuclear complexes predicted values of log Kly have an uncertainty of about±0.5. For polynuclear hydroxy complexes a relation previouslyproposed by Baes and Mesmer has been slightly modified and used to predict unknown formation constants with an uncertainty in log Kxy of about±0.5 y. Mercury (II) and silver (I), which form especially stable “linear” complexes, do not follow theabove correlations because of the structure change that occurs upon going from the M (OH) 2 to the M (OH) 3 species. The tetrahedrally coordinatedBe2+(aq) ion is more acidic than expected when compared with octahedrally coordinated aquo ions of divalent metals. Each hydrogen must carry a somewhat greater portion of the positive charge than it would in an octahedral complex, and this makes the removal of a proton easier. Aqueous Sn2+ is also unusually acidic, and it is suggested that it too has fewer water molecules in the primary coordination sphere than one would expect for a “normal” octahedrally coordinated metal ion. A reason is suggested for the experimental difficulty previous investigators have encountered in determining the formation constants for polynuclear hydroxy complexes of certain metal ions such as bismuth (III), cerium (IV), and zirconium (IV).
